Starter fluid can damage the very expensive diaphragms, and is not something that should be used in these CV carbs.

I always do all my own carb work, but in this case I had Ducatiman restore mine to new condition.
Did not know that about the starter fluid. Hopefully they're OK. :0

Would it be worth ordering something like this before I go to clean the carb?

That way I can just swap out everything? I'm planning on grabbing carb and choke cleaner and a bucket of the carb cleaner. A couple sites I've seen are recommending new float valve gaskets. Is that wise to go ahead and get that kind of stuff?
